I Think We Should All Take a Moment to Appreciate Braum's Mom

Braum "Mother always said - don't lose!" "Mother always said - float like iceberg, sting like thrown iceberg."

I know that last line is a reference to Muhammad Ali, but assuming Braum is honest, and he really has no reason to be, he's BRAUM, then his mother sounds like a very confrontational woman, the kind that would suplex you into the ice if you crossed the line. Let's face it, this is the woman that gave birth to the Heart of Freljord, a man that wrestles dragons and punches through mountains. That Braum's mother would offer such words of encouragement like "don't lose," speaks volumes about her personality. She did not tell her son, "try your best" or "fight for what's right" or even "never give up," her command was a very simple "don't lose." A fight breaks out? She would expect someone to hit hard like a thrown iceberg; literal of figurative, that is a monumental task, and since Braum did beat through a mountain with his bare hands, I think she was being literal. Braum's jovial disposition only makes it more amusing, considering how deadpan she sounds.

I think it is safe to say Braum's mother was a badass.

Makes you wonder about other the parents of other champs.

Zac He was raised as a good kid by Zaunite scientists. Zaun's scientists aren't all amoral jerks who tinker and experiment for SCIENCE. Annie Her parents managed to keep her under control Caitlyn Supported Cait's dream of becoming a cop. Imagine their pride when she became the sheriff of their hometown.

"Wait, Braum, how do you know how a thrown iceberg feels like?" "Mother was a very visual person. She showed Braum how to milk goats, how to cut wood, and how to throw icebergs."

I like to believe the reason Braums mom said "Don't loose" is because she knew her boy would only ever fight for the good of all and the protection of his kin, showing how much she trusted Braum to always do good

But my favorite parents from league are Zacs parents, not only did they show us that not all Zaunites are bad, but they risked their lives to save an experiment, nothing more than a little flubber with basic intelligence They showed the kind of love you wish every parent gave their child, they believed he would be more then they could ever imagine, they gave him the confidence and stable childhood (that more then half the league never had) to become a honorable and confident adult who uses his powers for good This all for a flubber made in in a vial in a lab Their love has no limitations or preconceptions about "as long as he has 10 fingers and 10 toes" kind of stuff They loved him for who and what he was How many people can you say that about?

God bless Zacs parents! May Kindred never take them May Bard watch over them for eternity

Zilean is his own grandpa.

Gangplank Killed his dad, which actually made his dad proud.

I'm actually hoping they make an old woman type champion. Braums mommy would be a perfect fit for that.

"Lissandra, you are very bad Ice Witch! Go take a time out!"

I can picture it now, Ashe coming to Braum's farm in Freljord with the intention to ask him to join the Avarosan cause, and they end up having the best time; she shows him the ways of the box, he shows her how to milk cows, they reminisce about their mums, they have a good laugh and Braum ends up joining Ashe's cause.
